I want to test out the code, and I can copy it, but when I paste it into the Shell, everything is all screwed up because of the indentation. Every time I paste in any kind of code, it seems like everything is immediately left-justified, and then nothing works.

TBE, acroread is a P.O.E.  Its first sin is in not sending the printer a 
blank page so that the printout of something novel sized at 450 pages or 
so, actually stays in synch with the ditch settings in your driver used 
in duplex mode.

Linux has several replacements that do this better, and fast enough to 
keep even a fast laser printer busy.  Look them over and I am sure you 
will find something that is both friendlier and more useful for your 
usage needs.


Cheers, Gene Heskett
